Bug ID: 52355
Summary: VisualEditor (and possibly other beta tools) need an
exposed, easy-to-use on/off switch
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: design
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
One of the pain points we're seeing is that disabling VisualEditor is
cumbersome. Even though there's now a user preference to disable the software,
going to [[Special:Preferences]] is disruptive to user workflow.
James and I discussed the possibility of adding a switch to the user interface
to enable or disable VisualEditor.
This switch might be located in the personal tools section, it might be a
sidebar section, or it might be elsewhere. It should be viewable from
?action=view, ?action=edit, and ?veaction=edit.
This switch might affect only VisualEditor or it might affect all "beta"
features deployed to Wikimedia wikis.
This switch will be available to both logged-in users and anonymous users.
I believe this is a high priority bug to address.
